Consider the set of non-zero relative integers between $-30$ and $30$; this set can be written as follows: $\{-30; -29; -28; \ldots -1; 1; \ldots; 28; 29; 30\}$. It contains 60 elements. We choose from this set successively and without replacement a relative integer $a$ then a relative integer $c$.
  1. How many different pairs $(a; c)$ can we obtain?

Consider the event $M$: ``the equation $ax^2 + 2x + c = 0$ has two distinct real solutions'', where $a$ and $c$ are the relative integers previously chosen.
  1. Show that event $M$ occurs if and only if $ac < 1$.
  2. Explain why the opposite event $\bar{M}$ contains 1740 outcomes.
  3. What is the probability of event $M$? Round the result to $10^{-2}$.
